While getting the development of their young pitchers back on track is a priority for the Kansas City Royals, the team hasn't closed the door on one-time ace Zack Greinke.
The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal reported Monday the Royals are "leaving the possibility open," but the right-hander "probably would need to accept a low base salary that could grow with incentives based on innings pitched."
Greinke spent his first seven seasons in MLB with Kansas City and established himself as an elite starting pitcher, winning the American League Cy Young Award and making the All-Star team in 2009.
